About Autumn

Autumn Altamirano is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage depression, anxiety, trauma, and family conflict. She draws on a decade of experience to support practical change and steady emotional care. Autumn aims for clear goals and a comfortable working relationship so people can speak honestly and make progress.

She favors a client-centered style, which means therapy starts where the person is and follows their priorities. Cognitive behavioral techniques are often used to spot unhelpful thinking and build better coping skills. Attachment-based ideas may be woven in when relationships and early patterns are part of the concern.

Autumn has worked across private practice, outpatient services, and school-based settings. That range shapes a flexible approach to problems like low motivation, parenting strain, grief, compassion fatigue, obsessive and compulsive behaviors, and panic symptoms. She also supports people facing multicultural or identity-related stressors, including LGBT concerns.

Sessions focus on collaboration: setting practical goals, trying specific strategies between meetings, and checking what helps. Autumn describes her style as warm, real, and supportive, and she places value on building trust so people can be open about painful topics.

Originally from Orange County, California, she lives in Nashville, Tennessee. Autumn holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California and maintains licenses as an LCSW in California and Tennessee.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Autumn often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change patterns in thinking and behavior. CBT is practical and focuses on skills you can try between sessions to reduce symptoms like low mood, panic, and obsessive thoughts.

She also draws on attachment-based therapy when relationship patterns and early bonds affect current struggles. This approach looks at how past connections influence present feelings and helps people create healthier ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Autumn will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts tools over time based on what helps and what does not.

Because session formats are set by the therapist and the service, please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with Autumn about what schedule and format would best match everyday life and responsibilities.
